Tonight’s the big night. The kids have worked hard and it’s going to be a great show. I hope to see you all this evening at the first ever Sequenza21 Concert, CUNY Graduate Center, Elebash Recital Hall, 34th and Fifth Avenue. 7:30 sharp.

hey! don’t start on time!! concerts should start late!! i promised a friend who has a conflicting concert tonight that i would come see his dress rehearsal up at MSM, so i’ll be down just in the nick of time, but maybe a close 7:38pm… looking forward to it :0

Hey, I’m grabbing a train into Penn Station for just after 6, meeting an old friend who’s also coming to the concert (and who also knows Frank Oteri—something about six degrees of separation, I guess), and hopefully getting a good seat at the concert. I’m looking forward to finally meeting in person a lot of people I’ve gotten to know very well, but only virtually. At this point, I’ve only actually met the others on the concert committee and Jacob Sudol (when we had a quick middle eastern lunch in Montreal last year); I’ve never actually met Jerry, so this should be quite interesting. Definitely bringing my digital camera for the occasion.

If I don’t stay too long at the reception tonight, it’s only because I have to get back to Wyncote, PA and go to work in the morning. Real life intrudes eventually, unfortunately.

Break a lip!… (or a finger, whichever…) I forgot to send along that big cardboard cut-out of me, that you could prop up in one of the seats. But I’ll synchronize my watch & channel a few good thoughts your way from Seattle just before curtain.
